12 courses with the subject ENGMT, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ENGMT 501Engineering Management Science3
Mathematical models involving optimization, simulation and forecasting to provide quantitative solutions to engineering management problems; scheduling, distribution, inventory control.
ENGMT 510Economics and Financial Studies for Engineers3
Economic feasibility of projects, systems and products. Project budgets, estimation, return on investment, supply and demand, and earned value management.
Theory/practice of linear programming will be developed including determination of optimum mix of products, levels of staffing, blending, network analysis, multi-period planning. Graduate - The Pennsylvania State University 2026-2027 1111
Overview of the legal system and legal issues applied to engineering: contracts, bidding, proposals, torts, professional liability, the intellectual property.
ENGMT 536Decision and Risk Analysis in Engineering3
This course examines the analysis of decisions under uncertainty within the context of engineering and technology. It focuses on understanding and improving the decision-making process of individuals and groups in technical organizations. Emphasis is placed on evaluation methods; identification, modeling, and problem resolution; consequences/ outcomes of the action taken; risk analysis and quantification. Cross-listed with: SYSEN 536
Total Credits 33 All students will complete their program of study with the 3-credit capstone course (ENGMT 539) that provides students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of the engineering management theories, methods, processes, and tools, learned throughout their program, in a culminating and summative experience. The choice of project topic and exact form will be determined by the instructor. A Graduate - The Pennsylvania State University 2026-2027 341 written paper based on the applied project is required and must contain project description, analysis, and interpretation of its findings. Students will be encouraged to upload their capstone work products to be available publicly via ScholarSphere: https://scholarsphere.psu.edu/. World Campus Engineering Management students will be encouraged to participate in the World Campus Graduate Capstone Exhibition.
/Maximum of 9 Formal courses given on a topical or special interest subject which may be offered infrequently; several different topics may be taught in one year or semester.
Analysis and construction of project plans for the development of complex engineering products taken from a variety of problem domains. Cross-listed with: SYSEN 805
The primary objective of this course is to help students become better and more effective problem solvers through a basic, yet rigorous, understanding of the cognitive processes involved in problem solving and individual creative behavior. To meet this objective, selected elements of cognitive psychology are examined, along with general and domain-specific models of the problem solving process, a variety of problem solving techniques, and illustrative examples and case studies related to these topics in a variety of contexts (including science engineering, and management). In addition, students will explore their personal preferences for problem solving strategies and the ways these preferences can impact both personal and professional life. Here, the objective is to provide students with an assessment of their strengths and weaknesses in the domain of problem solving, as well as a basis of understanding and appreciating the diverse problem solving abilities and styles of others. With its focus on effective problem solving at the individual level, this course is appropriate for students in all discipline and areas of study. It also serves as the foundation for additional courses in problem solving, which may build upon the theoretical elements presented here (e.g., group problem solving) or serve as in-depth application studies in specific topical areas (e.g., invention).
